In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt until well combined.
In a separate medium-sized bowl, whisk together the milk, eggs, melted butter, and vanilla extract until smooth.
Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and gently stir until just combined. Some small lumps in the batter are fine, but avoid overmixing.
Heat a nonstick skillet or griddle over medium heat. Lightly grease it with nonstick cooking spray or a small amount of butter.
Using a 1/4-cup measuring cup, pour batter onto the skillet, spacing the pancakes an inch or two apart. Cook for about 2-3 minutes, or until bubbles form on the surface and the edges look set.
Flip the pancakes carefully with a spatula and cook for an additional 2-3 minutes, or until golden brown on both sides.
Transfer cooked pancakes to a wire rack or plate and repeat with remaining batter, greasing the skillet as needed.
Let pancakes cool completely if freezing. Stack them with parchment paper in between each pancake to prevent sticking, then store in airtight freezer bags or containers.
When ready to serve from frozen, reheat pancakes in the microwave (about 30 seconds per pancake), toaster, or oven until warm.
